The Rural Health Model

The Rural Health Model is a framework designed to improve healthcare services in rural areas. It emphasizes a team-based approach, integrating medical providers, mental health professionals, and community resources to address the unique health needs of rural populations. The model promotes coordinated, accessible, and patient-centered care, often leveraging telehealth and mobile services to overcome geographic barriers. Overall, it aims to ensure rural communities receive comprehensive, timely, and effective healthcare, reducing disparities and fostering healthier, more resilient populations.
